A Snowman for George

Post by matchbox_n_molars »

I was talking to George this morning at the breakfast table via Skype. I carried my laptop over to the back windows and gave George a look at our 1st day of March Ohio weather, 2-3 inches of new snow. George, sweltering away in the late summer heat of Perth, Western Australia, told me I needed to go outside and make a snowman for him.
So here he is George! And like you, he just loves vintage MATCHBOX Toys!

Excellent work Greg, and great pic.

Here's my youngest daughter making a mini-snow man while perched perilously on the edge of the Grand Canyon. George, I hope these snow people help to cool you off. :D

Yes, be careful Joe, putting pictures of nice Young Ladies on the forum will make some of us nervous and send my...er sorry, some members blood pressure to rise... :P

So this pic of some winter surfing in San Diego would not be a good idea?

Thanks also for the " Snow Pictures" (the other ones are also appreciated). Presently in George's country, sweltering in Perth. (41 C last week). Just returned from a long weekend in Margaret River, hot there as well!

great pic Greg! the snow trac was the perfect touch!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Hi George,
Would have loved to meet up again but this time we have a full programme and I am not supposed to be collecting after selling my collection two years ago. I still have memories of or last meeting and your super fine collection.
Surfing? The only surfing I do at my age is on the Internet. Margaret River was very busy but we had a cottage in Yallingup set in the middle of a forest, brilliant.
